"Mighty Joe Young" is a very good movie. Although not related to "King Kong" in terms of story or characters, its big ape themed action serves as a finale of sorts to a "Kong" trilogy. Along with "Son of Kong", it offers engaging characters and plenty of excitement on a much smaller scale than the incredible "King Kong".
The action in "Mighty Joe Young" is as plentiful as it was in the endearing "Son of Kong" and the effects are jaw-dropping when you take into account that this film was made seventy years ago.
The real appeal to me (other than Mighty Joe) is the Max O'Hara character. He's much easier to like than the cold and ruthless Carl Denham of "Kong Kong" but is not as endearing as the extremely softened Denham in "Son...".
It's a personal wish that today's movie watchers could get past the mindset that old movie = boring movie. They are missing out on adventurous, enjoyable movies like "Mighty Joe Young".
